Chapter 249

She curled up her knees and folded her arms around her. She put her Chin on top and looked out the window.

The curtains weren’t drawn, and the whole world seemed to be a monotonous black and white color.

As she looked at it, she somehow began to cry.

She sat there all night. When it was almost dawn, she got out of bed and washed up. Then she turned on the stove, cooked some noodles, and cleaned up the house.

When she was done, she looked up at the clock on the wall. The clock was already pointing to seven o’clock in the morning.

She put on her coat, picked up her keys, phone, and wallet from the Front Door Cabinet, changed her shoes, and left the house in a hurry.

The morning sun was very bright. Through the gaps of the tall buildings, it fell on the thick snow, making it hard for people to open their eyes.

After passing through the Long Garden of the community, she came to the bus stop outside the community, and studied the route to the Qiao’s for two minutes.

During the morning rush hour, the bus was more crowded. Qiao man walked to the middle and raised her hand to grab the handrail on the roof. Like an office worker, she put on her earphones, listened to music, and stared out of the window in a daze.

Due to the traffic jam, it was already 8:30 in the morning when she arrived at the Qiao Group.

This time was the time when the Qiao Group’s employees gathered for work.

Qiao man’s identity was sensitive. In addition to the wedding that Ji Yunshen had given her, which lit up the entire night sky with fireworks, as well as the short-lived marriage that was less than three months in the eyes of the world All of this made her a landmark figure in the eyes of passersby.

She took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag and put them on. She wore a pair of ten-centimeter crystal high heels and walked in calmly. She automatically ignored the curious gazes from others and walked all the way to the CEO’s office on the top floor.

Xiao Min and Xiao Meng were sitting in front of their desks. One was organizing the documents while the other was reading and signing them.

Meanwhile, Qiao Mingzhang was sitting beside the Guest Sofa, brewing tea. The fragrance of the tea filled the air. She could almost smell that it was longjing, his favorite drink after the rain.

Behind her was the CEO’s secretary. Because of Qiao Man’s status, she did not dare to be rude. She could only lower her head and say in a flustered and helpless manner, “President Xiao, President Qiao, Qiao… Miss Qiao forced her way in. I’m sorry, I didn’t stop her. ”

The moment Xiao Meng saw Qiao man, she almost immediately jumped up. Before she could speak, Xiao Min patted her on the waist weakly. “Xiao Meng, you can go out first. ”

“SIS ~ ”

Xiao Min repeated, “be good, go out. ”

Xiao Meng did not want to go out, but when she saw Xiao Min’s gaze, she still kept quiet and obediently walked out.

Qiao Mingzhang’s movements were inconvenient. He was sitting in a wheelchair. When he saw Qiao Man, he almost immediately started the wheelchair and slid over.

Qiao man did not even look out of the corner of her eyes. Instead, she lifted her feet and walked straight to the office desk. With her hands on the desk, she looked at Xiao Min who was sitting lazily in the office chair.

“Xiao Min, I remember when I first met you two sisters, you all looked up at me and looked down on me. To be able to get to where you are today, did I say that you are too scheming? Or did I say that you are too cunning? ”

Xiao Min was wearing exquisite makeup. When she heard that, she raised her eyes and looked over. The smile on her lips did not change. “Xiao Man, I know that you are in a bad mood after your mother passed away, but I really feel wronged that you suddenly ran over here and mocked me. ”

As she said that, Xiao Min lowered her head and placed her hand on her lower abdomen, looking extremely sad. “after all, I just lost my child with Mingzhang. ”

When Qiao Mingzhang saw Xiao Min’s sad and aggrieved expression, he immediately slid his wheelchair over. “Xiao Man, what does your mother’s matter have to do with Xiao Min? Stop fooling around… ”

Qiao man closed her eyes and stretched out her hand to stop him from approaching. “Don’t come over, don’t call me. ”

Qiao Mingzhang did not move again, his brows slowly tightening.

Qiao man took a few seconds to open her eyes. She walked around the office desk and walked to Xiao Min’s side.

Xiao Min half-turned the large chair, her back sunk into the back of the chair. When she raised her head to look at her, her eyes were filled with stars of craftiness, as if she was provoking, but also as if she was mocking.

Qiao man also smiled, her eyes were like the Sun. In the next second, she waved her hand at Xiao Min.

Xiao Min was caught off guard and received the slap firmly. Her face was slanted, and there were even traces of blood seeping out from the corner of her lips.

She covered her face and sat up straight. Just as she was about to speak, Qiao Man’s slap on the other side of her face had slanted in the opposite direction.

“Xiao Min, I really don’t know what is there for a person like you to show off to others? To put it nicely, you rely on your body to get to the top. To put it bluntly, you are a prostitute. Why? As the instigator of breaking up other people’s families, do you feel a sense of accomplishment? ”

“sometimes, I really doubt whether you have studied or not! ” Speaking up to this point, Qiao man seemed to have thought of something. She patted her head and had an expression of sudden realization. “Oh, right, how could I forget? You two sisters haven’t even graduated from high school. ”

“However, it’s understandable that you haven’t studied much, but have you lost your worldview at the very least? ”

Xiao Min’s cheeks on both sides of her face were red and swollen. It was a burning pain. One could imagine how much strength Qiao man had used just now.

She looked back at Qiao man’s gaze. The Lazy and playful look in her eyes slowly turned into a dense and sinister look. She still smiled, a warm and faint smile “Xiao Man, you’ve really wronged me. When I was with your father, he had already divorced your mother. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. ”

She spread her hands and seemed very helpless. “I still have a lot of business to deal with. Stop fooling around and go back. ”

Qiao man felt that the Xiao Sisters were natural-born actors.

“Alright, two slaps has indeed made my heart feel a lot better. However, I can’t guarantee that I’ll come over and give you two slaps when I’m in a bad mood one day. ”

The smile on Xiao Min’s face slowly froze, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly, as if she had already endured it to the limit.

Qiao Mingzhang could no longer stand it anymore. Thinking about how Qin Yulan had just passed away and how it had dealt a great blow to her, he suppressed his anger.

Qiao man looked at the colorful expression on Xiao Min’s face, lowered her body, and whispered into her ear, “You sisters have done so much and even risked my mother’s life. Aren’t you just trying to destroy the founder’s power that my grandfather had accumulated in the Qiao Corporation? Don’t worry, I won’t let you get what you want. ”

She left a little and raised her hand to Tuck the hair that had fallen by Xiao Min’s ear behind her ear. She continued to say with a smile, her tone very light and indifferent “Xiao Min, if you dare to say one more word to my father, I will make Lu Yubai never contact you again for the rest of his life. Remember, I’m a man of my word. ”

After saying that, she turned around and looked at the worried Qiao Mingzhang “Mr. Qiao, my mother gave birth to two children for you. She’s been with you for most of her life, and she’s been frustrated for most of her life. Many times, I’ve wondered if your fame, status, and so-called love are higher than her life? ”

She raised her head and resisted the surging warmth in her eyes. “She’s dead, and you’re completely free, aren’t you? ”

In a person’s life, all love, hatred, and love could only be turned into a sigh from someone else.

Why Bother? Why Bother?

…

The next day, the wind cooled down and it snowed heavily.

Qiao man and Tong Qin’s psychological consultation room was being built nervously. She had to work until the end of the week because of her contract with mansion number one. As for the psychological consultation room, it was basically all done by Tong Qin.

When Qiao man rushed to mansion number one, she was still late.

After changing her clothes, she went to the private room to sell alcohol. Just as she walked in, she saw a few familiar faces.

Among them were Ji Yunshen, Fu Qingshan, Yun Ruo, and Jiang Meng.

Although she was wearing heavy makeup, she was easily recognized because the people sitting in the private room were all familiar faces.

Ji Yunshen was sitting in the main seat. After not seeing him for a few days, his bearing seemed to have become more mature. Sitting in the crowd, he was outstanding and dazzling.

Qiao man pushed the wine cart closer and faced everyone on the sofa. She calmly introduced a few bottles of wine that had been selling well recently.

Yun Ruo and Jiang Meng had been chatting. Jiang Meng did not look over at first, but Qiao Man’s voice was too recognizable. When she opened her mouth to speak, she recognized her voice and almost immediately looked over.

Yun Ruo was still immersed in the topic just now. When she saw Jiang Meng looking straight at the salesgirl in the middle, she could not help but look over as well.

She had always been very curious about a woman who could make Ji Yunshen marry her. She had also investigated her information in private. This was the first time she had actually seen her in person.

She was really very beautiful. She was classically beautiful and very white. She had short hair that reached her ears, and her aura was very clean. She was spotless and exuded an immortal aura.

Seeing that no one responded, Qiao man introduced her again.

When it was over, no one said anything, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Perhaps because of her identity, the people in the private room were very uncomfortable, so she said herself, “please wait a moment, I’ll exchange the private room with the other salesgirls. ”

As she said that, she picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to exchange it with the salesgirls in the next private room. Before she could say anything, she heard Yun Ruo say, “there’s no need to exchange, you can do it. You can introduce them again. We were chatting just now, so I didn’t hear you. ”

Qiao man nodded and reintroduced the few bottles of wine that were selling well. As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Ruo continued, “I’ll take the’78 Romani Conti. Ten bottles. ”

The bid for each bottle of the’78 Romani Conti was over a million dollars. Even if she had money, she wouldn’t burn it like that. However, she was only responsible for selling wine. As for the rest, she didn’t need to worry too much.

She took out ten bottles of Romani Conti and placed them on the table. After memorizing the number of bottles and the price, she reported it to the front desk. Then, she turned around and was about to leave. Before she could even take a step, Yun Ruo’s voice sounded again.

“Miss, I remember that the salesperson would like to have a few drinks with you. I ordered ten bottles, and your commission tonight might be more than six figures. Why did you turn around and leave? ”

The lights in the private room were turning on. She had not eaten anything at night, so she felt a little dizzy. She wanted to go out and get some air. She did not look like she was running away.

Perhaps even if her expression was natural, they would think that she was deliberately trying to attract attention.

“I feel a little uncomfortable. However, since Miss Yun Ruo is so supportive, I should of course toast a few cups to express my gratitude. ”

Yun Ruo did not expect Qiao man to know her. When she joined the crew, she had just divorced Ji Yunshen and left the crew. Logically speaking, she should not have known her, but she did not expect her to call out her name directly.

“You know me? ”

Qiao man opened a bottle of Romani Conti with familiarity and poured a cup for her and herself. Then, she looked at Yun ruo indifferently. “I don’t know you, but I’ve seen you on TV. ”

One sentence was enough to clear everything.

Although Yun Ruo did not have the title of Best Actress, her background was enough to make everyone in the entertainment industry afraid.

Even if she did not have any acting skills to speak of, there were still countless people who sought after her.

Moreover, people nowadays focused on their looks. As long as their looks were OK, everything else was OK.

“ON TV? Did you see the movie I acted in? ”

Yun ruo looked at Qiao man with interest, trying to find a trace of discomfort or an impatient crack on her face, but there was nothing, or even nothing.

“No, it’s a variety show. ”

Yun Ruo had recently participated in the most popular variety show, “the great adventure. ” Her performance in it was very natural and not pretentious. Her interaction with male celebrities was also very comfortable, and she had countless fans.

Recently, she had watched a lot of variety shows, so of course, she only remembered her.

Although it was because she knew that she was Ji Yunshen’s blind date that she had a deep impression, before that, she had indeed known her and knew her.

“Oh, what do you think of my performance in that show? ”

Yun Ruo continued to ask, as if she was chatting with a friend.

“It’s pretty good. ”

Qiao man did not say anything more. Instead, she raised her wine glass and knocked it against the wine glass beside her. “Miss Yun Ruo, thank you for your support. I’ll drink to you first. ”

Usually, when customers bought wine, the wine salesperson would drink a few glasses to express their gratitude.

Those who could hold their liquor might drink six or seven glasses. Those who could not hold their liquor would at most drink three glasses.

Her alcohol tolerance was very poor, so she did not force herself. After drinking three glasses, she put down her wine glass.

“thank you again for your support, Miss Yun Ruo. I wish you all a good night. I’ll go out first and continue selling wine. ”

Qiao man took two steps back. Before she could take a step, she was pulled over by Yun Ruo who had gotten up and sat between her and Ji Yunshen.

As Yun Ruo’s strength was too strong, Qiao man was not prepared. When she sat down, she directly leaned back and fell into Ji Yunshen’s arms.

He thought that Ji Yunshen would avoid her, but he did not expect him to reach out and catch her, preventing her from falling off the sofa.

Qiao man was shocked. By the time she reacted, she found herself sitting on the man’s legs, and his big hands were supporting her waist.

This posture was very similar to the posture that only appeared in those indescribable scenes.

Qiao man reached out and brushed away a strand of hair that covered her eyes and brows. She pushed away the man behind her without leaving a trace. She really wanted to say thank you naturally, but for some reason, her voice was trembling, and her entire body was trembling.

After adjusting herself for a few seconds, Qiao man finally said a low thank you. Then, she looked at Yun Ruo, who was sizing her up and Ji Yunshen.

“Miss Yun Ruo, is there anything else? I’m currently at work, so I can’t stay in a private room for too long. I hope you can understand. ”

“Of course I understand! ” Yun Ruo looked at her eyes, and there was an unknown emotion in them. “However, you only drank three glasses of wine with so much money. I feel that it’s a loss. ”

“Miss Yun Ruo, if you think it’s expensive, we can return it before we open the bottle. Or, you can order two bottles and exchange the rest for slightly cheaper wine. ”

“You think I don’t have the money to pay you? ” Yun Ruo moved closer to Qiao man and blinked. “Or do you think President Ji doesn’t have the money to pay you? ”

Qiao man lowered her head and the smile on the corner of her lips slowly widened with a hint of mockery “Miss Yun Ruo, you don’t have to test me like this. I know that you and President Ji are in a relationship and it’s very likely that you’ll get married in the future. Don’t worry, he and I are already in the past. I won’t pester him too much and affect your relationship. I swear to God. ”

Other than Ji Yunshen, Fu Qingshan, Yun Ruo, and Jiang Meng, there were also many movie creators in the private room.

Ever since Qiao man entered, they had barely spoken, not even making a sound. However, when they heard these words, someone clearly took a deep breath.

Yun Ruo clearly did not expect her to reveal everything. It was as if she had reacted for a few seconds before she spoke “Miss Qiao, if you don’t want to continue drinking, then I have a question to ask you. As long as you answer me truthfully, I can buy ten bottles of Romani Conti. ”

“I’m sorry, Miss Yun Ruo. I’ve already earned enough from my commission tonight, so I won’t trouble you to spend it. ”

The meaning in Qiao Man’s words was already very obvious. She refused to answer her question, and did not care how much more commission she would earn.

She was clearly a poor daughter, yet she pretended to be more virtuous than anyone else. Where did her confidence come from?

“I see, then I don’t really want to let you go. ”

Saying that, Yun ruo picked up the wine bottle and filled the wine bottle in front of her with wine. “after drinking all this wine, you can go out. Of course, if you can’t finish it, I may ask the manager to cancel your commission for tonight. Believe me, as long as I want to, I can definitely do it. ”

Qiao man looked at the table that was lit up by the lights. There were more than twenty glasses of red wine on the table.
